  Tutonota is German, which is part of the already full on surveilance state.

    A fair point, but it’s better than proton or especially gmail and other traditional email providers. Do you have a better alternative to suggest?

      Self host your own?

        I self host most of my digital life but I will never host my own email or PW manager for the simple reason that if I screw up either than I could lock myself out of my ENTIRE digital life.

        Also, since email is only as private/secure as the weakest user in the conversation, it seems to me like I would get a very minimal privacy gain from doing so, not worth the risk for normal everyday usage IMHO.

        If I really need to communicate securely with someone there’s better options out there than email anyways.

        Can we just be realistic and understand that most people can’t/won’t do this. Most people do not have the time/technical knowhow to host everything themselves.

      I’ll review again. Last time I looked was 3 to 4 years ago.

      I’m sticking with Proton for now. If Switzerland ends up being no different than the 5 eyes, I’ll be more intent on finding a replacement.
